—The famous work of Miss Whately, daughter of Archbishop Whately, who for years carried on her work at Cairo, at her own charges, is a very interesting branch of Egyptian missions. The Khedive presented Miss Whately with land for her buildings, and her Cairo schools number 300 boys and 200 girls, more than two-thirds of the girls and half the boys being Moslems. She has a branch school of ninety pupils at Damietta.
THE CHINESE.
—There are now between three and four hundred Christian schools in China, containing over six thousand pupils.
—It is pointed out as a significant fact that the missions in Japan, which have been so prosperous, were started by a contribution sent by Christian converts of the Hawaiian Islands.
—There are in New York City and vicinity 500 Chinese laundries, managed by about 2,000 Chinamen. No foreigners are more industrious, more peaceable, or more anxious to conform to the laws of the land. None are so reliable in their business arrangements or so desirous for instruction in mission schools.
—There are at present in connection with Protestant missions in China more than 600 stations and out stations; more than 300 organized churches, a goodly number of them self-supporting, and some 20,000 communicants.
